Violent Images

While this image is not bloody and gruesome, it is a true image of violence. The men pictured above are prisoners of war, decaying and diminishing before their very eyes. I believe that this form of visual rhetoric is most powerful. It shows a human image, which could actually take the place of you or anyone you know, withering away. You can almost imagine the way they feel by the way they look. Hungry and losing hope daily, has become a form of life for them. This pictures of violence spread social change because they make many people believe war is bad. It calls anti-war protestors to the stage, explaining through images like this, why we cannot continue on this path.
